Paedophile to death in prison

[Jimbuna]

A British man jailed for numerous sex crimes against Malaysian children has been found stabbed to death in prison.

Richard Huckle, 33, from Ashford, Kent, abused as many as 200 children.

In 2016, he was given 22 life sentences after admitting 71 charges of sex abuse of children aged between six months and 12 years, between 2006 and 2014.

It is understood he was attacked on Sunday in his cell at Full Sutton Prison, near York, with what was described as a makeshift knife.

Is it having a bad manner or behaviour

If I said I was glad and a little schadenfroh when reading about it ?

I don't thinks so and my comment was meant in a sarcastic context.

My heart bleeds for him. . . . NOT!!

If he committed his crimes against Malaysians, presumably in Malaysia, why was he in an English clink?

Good question, a one which had me look a little further into the case. It would appear the Malaysian authorities weren't aware of the crimes that had been taking place over a number of years.

The British authorities weren't aware either until they received a tip off from the Australian authorities and an investigation after he was arrested entering back into the UK uncovered a large catalogue of evidence on his laptop that he intended to publish onto the dark side of the web.

There still remains controversy over claims of elitism by the British and Australian authorities who some believe were formed on the grounds that it was believed the Malaysian authorities would not have the skills to deal with the matter appropriately.

That is certainly not the opinion I support.
